Liquid ejecting apparatus

A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:

• a liquid ejecting head including a substrate where a plurality of hollow portions are formed, a flexible plane that delimits a part of the hollow portion in the substrate, and a piezoelectric element provided corresponding to and opposite to the hollow portion with the flexible plane in between;
• an inspection mechanism that inspects ejection of liquid from a nozzle that communicates with the hollow portion based on an electromotive force of the piezoelectric element caused by vibration generated when the piezoelectric element is driven;
• and
• a signal generation circuit that generates a first drive signal applied to a first piezoelectric element to be inspected among a plurality of piezoelectric elements corresponding to the plurality of hollow portions and a second drive signal applied to a second piezoelectric element different from the first piezoelectric element,
• wherein the second drive signal maintains a state, where a second vibration portion including the second piezoelectric element and the flexible plane corresponding to the second piezoelectric element is deformed, during at least a detection period in which the inspection mechanism performs inspection based on vibration caused when a first vibration portion including the first piezoelectric element and the flexible plane corresponding to the first piezoelectric element is driven.
